Use After-image Stall (-aistall) to suspend database activity if all AI files are filled. -aistall ceases all database activity until the AI extent is emptied and sends this message to the log file:

Can’t switch to after-image extent filename it is full. (3775) Backup ai extent and mark it as empty (3776)

When using after-image (AI) files, monitor the status of the files to ensure that the AI extents do not run out of space and cause the database to hang. Without the use of -aistall, the database shuts down when the AI files are filled.
